Pale Moon 8.0
A major update building on the Firefox 8.0 code base, with improvements that were planned for the (unreleased) version 7.0.2.
This version sees the following improvements in addition to those inherent to Firefox 8:
- Improved cache handling: this will make the browser handle system resources more efficiently on most systems.
- Improved networking: communication with web servers should be noticeably faster and smoother
- Fix for a rare image decoding bug (garbage, possible crashes)
It should be noted that the shift in focus of development has been towards the back-end of the browser (background resource handling and background networking), considering the rendering and scripting speed is not the bottleneck for current versions of the browser. Inherently, this may result in less of a clear difference in benchmark scores when comparing to its vulpine sibling or previous versions of Pale Moon because of rebalancing of code priority when building. Maximum benchmark scores are nice, of course, but the main goal of Pale Moon remains to be as efficient as possible when taken as a whole, including those parts that aren't measured in limited benchmark tests.

Pale Moon 12.1
A major update to the browser, implementing a number of visual and under-the-hood changes.
Security fixes:
· Bug #745580 Thebes: handle bad results from Core Text shaping more robustly.
· Bug #744541 XPCOM i/o: Charset conversion issue.
· Bug #748613 Javascript: Scope vulnerability
· Bug #747688 Layout engine: Drop references for all destroyed frames
· Security update of the included MSVC runtime libraries
Enhancements and fixes:
· Dynamic smooth scrolling algorithm for mouse/keyboard implemented. Smooth scrolling is now also enabled by default.
· Update to the status bar code to fix pop-up status not switching sides on mouse-over, as well as using a safer allocation/destruction mechanism for controls (potentially preventing memory leaks).
· Fixed: cache size override on new profiles (would be set to 1GB instead of the application default of 200MB). Bug 20120512-GN.
· Addition of a number of preferences in the Tabs category of the options dialog box:
- A checkbox for inserting related tabs next to the current tab when opening a link;
- A checkbox for closing the browser window when the last tab is closed;
- A selection for new tabs: Choose from a blank page, the Pale Moon start page or the Quickdial page.
· Some slight color has been re-introduced in the navigation elements to improve clarity of the UI.
· Disabled an image decoding library with hazardous code. This has no impact on the browser's image decoding capabilities or performance as alternative methods for decoding are used by default.
· Some changes to memory handling which potentially keep memory use better within bounds.
· A change to the build environment to improve stability of Javascript. Note that this is a trade-off and may result in a slight drop in synthetic benchmarking performance of the browser compared to the previous version of Pale Moon. The impact of this on overall real-world performance of the browser is negligible.

Pale Moon 15.0
A few highlights, in addition to security fixes:
· Performance improvements for the rendering engine
· More HTML 5 implemented
· Better handling of memory, resulting in smoother operation of the browser
· More responsive user interface when the browser is busy
· Prevention of memory leaks through add-ons
· Better implementation of the Quickdial page
· Localization of Pale Moon specific preferences and options (work in progress)
· Reinstatement of the previous user interface, keeping it in line with version 12 (Firefox 15 has UI changes that makes the controls flat, monochrome and borderless, which isn't desired for Pale Moon)
· The padlock has returned for secure pages! It can be found in front of the URL when you browse to a secure page, with optionally company information if supplied by the server
Some things new to the Firefox code base that are excluded or disabled by default:
· Built-in PDF reader in javascript - use a standalone, dedicated reader
(this is both a security and functionality consideration)
· Additional advanced web development tools - the average user never needs these
· Web apps on the desktop - Pale Moon is a browser, not a pseudo-OS
· Windows Metro UI
